front uprights

[slngsht]

Dennis mentioned they have made some custom ones in the past to accomodate larger brakes. Anyone have any experience with them?

[redbaron]

Yes, I do. Dennis had to make up some custom uprights for my car because I wanted to use 11 in dia vented rotors from a 1991 Mustang GT in combination with JFZ 4 piston calipers.        &nb sp;         &nb sp;         &nb sp; Red Baron

Do you happen to have any pics?

[redbaron]

No, but I will take and post some shortly.

Oops, when I pulled a front wheel to take a picture of the uprights it dawned on me that you are talking about something a bit different than what I have on my car. Dennis modified the Toyota spindles and welded on brackets that allowed  mounting of the 11 in Mustang GT rotors and 4 piston JFZ calipers. The "fabricated uprights" were an idea that Dennis, Frank Nolfi and I kicked around as an alternative to reworking the Toyota spindles. I think Dennis found a source for them and actually built a few. Sorry about the mix up. I will, however, post pictures of my spindles for those who might be interested.
